Chu Keren's face instantly turned pale, and only one thought remained in her mind: it was over!
At the same time, Qing Yu and Qian Pangzi, who hadn't run far, also turned pale.
"What an idiot!" Qing Yu cursed under his breath.
Despite his anger, he still turned back, pulled Chu Keren, who was frozen in place, and chased after Qian Shaojie.
Chu Keren deserved to die, but not now. At least not before understanding the actions of the Qionghua Kingdom.
Qing Yu's current plan was to hand Chu Keren over to Qian Pangzi and then stop the Nine-Tailed Vulture to buy time for Qian Pangzi.
Of course, he didn't forget to send the special signal of the Underworld Mansion.
Although Qian Pangzi was as round as a ball, he was surprisingly fast when fleeing for his life.
As he ran, he cursed, "What Qionghua Princess? She's a complete moron with a screw loose! Today, Fatty Qian is going to be killed by this jinx..."
Before he could finish his rant, he heard Qing Yu's urgent voice, "Young Master Qian, the Qionghua Princess is your responsibility. You must take her to find our people, understand?"
Although Qian Pangzi wished he could beat Chu Keren to death, he also knew that the secrets she held were of great importance.
Therefore, he readily agreed, "Don't worry, Xiao Yu Zi! You be careful too!"
Qing Yu nodded and said, "You go ahead, I'll be fine."
Qian Pangzi nodded and replied, "Yes, Xiao Yu Zi, be careful!"
With that, he grabbed Chu Keren and rushed forward.
He didn't hesitate because Qing Yu's cultivation was on par with that beast, and if he stayed, he would only be a burden to Qing Yu.
"Damn humans! You killed my two children, I will make you pay with your lives!"
The Nine-Tailed Vulture's furious roar echoed through the air.
Having lost two children in succession, it was stimulated by rage and had crossed the threshold of a spirit beast.
In other words, it had truly entered the "Saint King Realm"!
Qing Yu inwardly cursed his bad luck, this beast had actually broken through at this critical moment.
Without a second thought, he hurled a spiritual energy ball at the Nine-Tailed Vulture.
The Nine-Tailed Vulture was incredibly fast and easily dodged the incoming spiritual energy ball, flying towards Qian Pangzi and Chu Keren.
At this moment, it wished it could swallow them both whole.
After all, Qian Pangzi had caused the death of its first child, and Chu Keren had directly killed its second child!
The hatred of a parent for the killer of their child was irreconcilable!
Therefore, the Nine-Tailed Vulture did not bother to entangle with Qing Yu and quickly caught up to Qian Pangzi and Chu Keren, who were running ahead.
Its sharp gaze locked onto Chu Keren, vowing to skin and dismember the murderer of its offspring.
Chu Keren had already snapped out of her daze.
When she felt the Nine-Tailed Vulture's naked stare, her soul almost fled her body.
Her steps quickened, wishing her parents had given her two extra legs.
But Chu Keren only had two legs, how could she be faster than the Nine-Tailed Vulture?
Seeing the Nine-Tailed Vulture's beak about to peck her buttocks, she screamed and yanked on Qian Pangzi beside her.
Although Qian Pangzi was not light, Chu Keren's panicked strength was immense.
With that pull, she actually pulled Qian Pangzi into her original position, while she, using the momentum of the pull, moved to Qian Pangzi's spot.
"Ah!"
Qian Pangzi let out a scream and jumped up.
Due to the loss of balance from the jump, he fell to the ground, clutching his backside and wailing.
As he wailed, he cursed, "Damn idiot princess! Damn jinx, using Fatty Qian as a shield..."
The Nine-Tailed Vulture, having knocked down Qian Pangzi, changed direction and flew towards Chu Keren.
After all, in its heart, Chu Keren was more hateful than Qian Pangzi; who else had personally killed its child?
As for Qian Pangzi, since it had already injured him, he wouldn't be able to run far for a while.
After it dealt with Chu Keren, the culprit, it would turn back to deal with this round ball.
It had to be said that after the Nine-Tailed Vulture entered the spirit beast realm, its intelligence had also risen sharply.
Hearing Qian Pangzi fall to the ground, Chu Keren subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
In her mind, since the Nine-Tailed Vulture had caught Qian Pangzi, it would kill him first before coming after her.
This was precisely where Chu Keren's misfortune lay.
Although she had schemed and plotted, heaven was watching. The ultimate culprit was still the culprit, and if she were allowed to escape, would there be any justice?
How could Chu Keren have imagined that the Nine-Tailed Vulture's intelligence had reached such a refined level?
Therefore, by the time she felt the strong wind approaching, it was too late.
The Nine-Tailed Vulture swept her away with a swipe of its tail, and its sharp claws lunged towards her back.
"Humble human, you killed my children and still want to run? I will tear you to shreds!"
As the Nine-Tailed Vulture's voice rang out, Chu Keren was caught in its claws.
The sharp talons pierced Chu Keren's clothes and dug into her flesh.
Having caught its enemy, the Nine-Tailed Vulture's eyes turned red.
Its claws were about to exert force, to tear Chu Keren in half in one go, when it felt a surge of sword energy directed at its claws.
At the same time, Mu Qingyan's icy voice rang out, "Abomination, release the Qionghua Princess!"
The Nine-Tailed Vulture let out a contemptuous cry, then its body shot upwards, dodging the sword energy. However, due to its excessive speed, it collided with a water spiritual energy shield.
This water spiritual energy shield was naturally Qing Yu's creation.
As one of the commanders of Ye Lingyuan's dark guards, Qing Yu's combat experience was immense!
The moment Mu Qingyan drew his sword, he had calculated the Nine-Tailed Vulture's reaction, and the spiritual energy shield formed accordingly.
The Nine-Tailed Vulture's excessive speed caused a powerful rebound force upon impact.
This rebound force slammed it back into the path of the sword energy.
Seeing this, the Nine-Tailed Vulture hastily released Chu Keren from its claws, pushing off with its hind legs to avoid having its claws severed by the sword energy.
Chu Keren fell heavily to the ground, sending dust flying.
Her landing posture was a textbook example of face-planting.
The prey that was almost caught had escaped, and the Nine-Tailed Vulture was furious.
Its attacks became even more ferocious, and only by joining forces could Mu Qingyan and Qing Yu barely withstand its assault.
Qian Pangzi had finally recovered by this time. He took out a black, long bow from his spatial storage bag, nocked a black arrow, and aimed it at the Nine-Tailed Vulture.
"Feathered beast, you dare to peck Fatty Qian's backside? Fatty Qian will use this Black Spirit Bow to teach you a lesson!"
The Nine-Tailed Vulture, engaged in a battle with Mu Qingyan and Qing Yu, suddenly felt a chilling aura.
It instinctively tried to ascend, but it was too late; the black arrow instantly pierced its wing.
